Blackened Red Snapper
A flavorful way to cook this delicious fish!
Equipment
- cast iron or steel skillet
- Fish spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 2 Fillets Red Snapper
- Blackening seasoning (See recipe above for how to make your own)
- 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 10 minutes before getting ready to cook, take the fish out of the refrigerator to allow it to start to come to room temperature.
- Pat both sides of the fillet with paper towels to make sure that they are good and dry and sprinkle liberally with blackening seasoning.
- Place the oil in your skillet (it should be just enough to create a thin film over the bottom of the pan) and turn it on high heat. Give it a minute or two to completely heat up.
- Once the skillet has gotten piping hot place your fillets in, skin side up. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes and flip so that the skin side is down. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the fish becomes firm and is white all the way through.
- Serve right away with lemon wedges on the side.
